Biometric-based
solutions for Homeland Security (airport security, travel documents,
visas, border control, prevention of ID theft) Other applications
of biometrics (e.g. large-scale enterprise network authentication
environments). Biometric interoperability and performance. It
will include ongoing national and international standards development
effortsand adoption of biometric standards, research and evaluation
of biometric technologies, user requirements, and technological
issues and challenges to meet these requirements. Other topic
